Q

Denaturation

A

A structural change of a protein that results in the loss of its biological properties

22
Q

Proteome

A

The unique set of proteins produces by an individual

23
Q

Proteins

A

Are kinda wack

24
Q

Globular Proteins

A

spherical and water soluble

25
linear proteins
linear and non soluable
26
Substrate
What’s being fit into and synthesized by an enzyme
27
Active site
The location on an enzyme that synthesizes the substrate.
28
metabolism
the sum of all enzyme mediated reactions in cells [M=A+C]
29
anabolism
part of metabolism using condensation reactions Ex: photosynthesis and DNA replication
30
catabolism
- breakdown part of metabolism - releases energy - Ex: digestion and cell respiration
31
monosaccharides
building blocks of carbohydrates
32
amino acid
building blocks of proteins
33
nucleotides
building blocks of nucleic acids
34
lipids
not a polymer, build from fatty acids
35
Carbohydrates
- water soluble and polar molecules - classified according to complexity
36
saturated fatty acids
fatty acids with the max number of hydrogen; no double bonded carbon atoms
37
saturated fatty acids
- solid at room temp - straight molecule - no double bonded carbon
38
monounsaturated fatty acids
- has one double bond in a fatty acid chain - kink at the fatty acid
39
polyunsaturated fatty acid
- at least two carbon bonds in the carbons of a fatty acid chain - liquid at room temp - very bendy
40
Hydrogenation
process by which cis and trans fatty acids are formed
41
cis fatty acid
- unsaturated fatty acids - hydrogen bonds are on the same side of a double bond - kinked
42
trans fatty acid
- unsaturated fatty acids - manufactured in a lab - hydrogen bonds are on the opposite sides of double carbon bonds - straight chain - tres mal.
43
Esther Linkage
the linkage of glycerol to the fatty acid chains via the hydroxyl group
44
Proteins
- made of C H O N and sometimes S - vary based on the sequence of amino acids - the creation is moderated by DNA coding
45
Rubisco
protein functioning in phot synthesis
46
hemoglobin
protein that transports oxygen around the body
47
immunoglobulins
antibodies (protective function of proteins)
48
Actin + Myosin
contractive proteins in muscles
49
collegen
connective tissue
50
insulin
regulates glucose levels
51
rhodopsin
allows for sight
52
Activation Energy
energy needed to trigger the formation of new bonds
